Day 98 No Want

Years ago, I memorized Psalm 23 and I still recite it when I begin to be afraid. It always calms me, although I think I'm still far from understanding or living out it's truth.  Father God, You are my shepherd and You are taking care of me, Your little lamb.  I shall not want (be in need, go without).  This is both a promise from You and from me.  You declare that You will provide for me and not deprive me of what I need.  I declare that I will not long for what I don't have and focus on my perceived needs.  Right now I "want" more sleep, time to exercise, time alone and time for dates with my husband,  a healthy baby, more money and more affirmation  I surrender all these "wants" to You Lord, and embrace the fact that You have, are and will provide all I need.

Tip: Borrow as many baby items as you can and be generous to give/lend what you have when baby outgrows it. You'll be blessed and be a blessing. I've given all my maternity and baby stuff away 3 times and it all comes back around (sometimes better stuff) when I need it.
